A SICKNESS bug has hit a Southampton-based cruise ship.

Some guests are confined to their cabins on Grand Princess, which left the city last Saturday for a two-week Mediterranean trip.

It is the second cruise in a row that has been hit by the vomiting and diarrhoea bug.

Among the victims are Dave and Jackie Greenslade, from Poole, who paid £3,000 for their dream holiday.

Mr Greenslade, 56, has been confined to his cabin since Wednesday and his wife has now fallen ill too.

He said: “I’ve gone through feeling sorry for myself – now I’m angry. We just want to go home.”
